The argument of Mr.. M. II. Smith,
Vice-President of the L. & N. Rail-
road, before the Interstate Commits
sion relative to the obnoxious fourth
section of the new law has been pub
lished in book form. Mr.. Smith is
one of the foremost railroad men OF
the day and his argument throws o
good deal Of light OH the Unjust pro-
visions of the law which is rapidly
growing into public disfavor. His
review of the growth of railroad
transportation and of the complex
conditions under which the railroads
have to operate, is able, instructive
and conclusive.

an obscure town with a few natural

working up "boom.r The suckers

1eprOsy in Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2l.-Physi-
clans are much interested over the
discovery of genuine case of lepro-
sy in this city. The patient is John
Hastings, who lives with his parents
OIL Wilson street. He contracted the
terrible disease in Honolulu about )
years ago, and his entire body is COW
cred with sickening eruptions pecu-
liar to lepers. Hastings is 30 years
of age, and was born in this city. Be-
ing of a rowing disposition, he left
home about five years ago and went
West. Finding himself in San Fran
cisco, and without money, he accept
ed berth on the steamer City of Pc
kin, a trading vessel bound for the
Sandwich Islands. When the ship
landed there Hastings was taken i'll,
and grew so much worse that the Of
ticers had him moved to house in
Honolulu, and arranged with an old
man TO care for him until the ship
could return. II was then that the
young man became affected with the
awful disease. The City of Pekin's
return took aboard the sick sailor
and when they were again in port
Hastings was sent home to his rela-
tlves. He succeeded in keeping from
his parents the knowledge of the ter
rible disease, and it was not until last
Sunday that they knew of their sons
ailment. During the last two years
he has been treating himself. Two oil
the best physicians in the city now
have his case in hand.

The Courier-J Journal in behalf OF
the people of the great West, who
will suffer from the enforcement OF
the long and short haul section of the
Commerce bill, is making an able
and exhaustive series of arguments
against the Objectionable part of the
law.In ourlast issue we published one
ofthese articles and in to-day's paper
will be found another, showing how
commerce will be interrupted by the
new regulation. There will I'M
doubtedly be an almost universal de-
mand for the repeal of the law or the
modification of its bad features, when
Congress re-assembles.

The State Primaries.

The county conventions held
throughout the state Saturday have
settled beyond doubt most ofthe races
for state offices. Buckner has carried
everything considered doubtful and
has more than enough instructed
votes to nominate him on the first
ballot. In Louisville and Jefferson
county he carried 57119 out of SO votes.
Davies, Fayette, Boyle, Montgomery,
and dozen other big counties claim
ed for Harris went for Buckner.
Nearly all of the Purchase counties
gave Holt first and Buckner second
instructions. There is no possible
chance to prevent Gen. Buckner from
being nominated and elected Govern
or of Kentucky. Bryan also has q
a walk-over for Lieutenant Governor
and Hewitt, Tate and Corbett have
carried the state almost unanimously.
Hardin is largely in the lead for
Attorney General from the returns
at hand and has probably enough in
structed votes to nominate him over
Judge Richards.
The race for Superintendent Of
Public instruction is badly mixed up
and is anybody'S race. Pickett, Tay-
lor, Boring, Thompson andGoodknight
all 90 in with strong backing and
this office is really the only one that
will be in doubt when the convention
meets tomorrow week.
The conventions as rule were
quiet and orderly, though there were
few rows. Franklin county tried
to hold a convention but after three
hours of wrangling adjourned with
out doing anything. Several splits
occurred in Louisville and Lexington
and some boiling delegations viii be
sent to the State Convention from
those cities, as is usually the case.

Last year the Board of Equaliza-
tion was in session 40 days. This
year it went little further and hung
on GO days. The eleven members
were paid 5000 each and the total ex-
pense of the session was $1,000 and
the increase in the valuation of prop
crty was just enough to make the ex-
ira revenue foot this bill. The State
derives nothing from the work of the
Board and it ought to be abolished.

The Midland Railroad.

We clip the following from the
Memphis Avalanche of last Sunday:
Some time ago the Chattanooga
Times contained a lengthy article on
the Midland Railroad, in which it
was stated that it had been learned
from good authority that the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company was back of the
scheme to build the proposed Mid
land line from Knoxville to Mem
phis, via Nashville and Jackson.
When that article appeared, says the
Times of the I'd, it caused sensation
in railroad circles. The plan was re-
garded as very feasible one, and the
general opinion was that the pro-
posed line would tap a rich territory
heretofore unentered by a railroad,
and the local business of the line
would pay much better than the
Memphis and Charleston road. Cop
les of the Times containing the article
in question were mailed to every
prominent railroad official of the
roads leading into this city. A lead
ing local railroad man said to re-
porter ten days ago that the proposed
scheme of the East Tennessee folks
would be heard from yet. He also
stated that the Times had discovered
these plans in reference to the Mid
land line and touched off the powder
little too soon. There were some
things yet to be accomplished before
the matter was ready to be given to
the public.
Yesterday a letter was received in
this city from railroad man high in
authority stating that the Times had
shit the nail squarely on the head"
when it said the East Tennessee road
was after the control of the proposed
Midland. In fact he stated when the
Midland was built it would only be a
continuation of the East Tennessee
system. He also said that for over a
year valuable mineral lands had been
purchased by the stockholders of the
East Tennessee along the proposed
Midland route. They know about
where the line will run and proposed
to own the land and control a large
amountof the mineral resources.
IL has also been intimated by those
who generally knew whereof they
peak that the hig fight which has
